Cruz: Liberal Fascism Is Permeating Today's Democratic Party

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) argued that Democrats have taken the persecution of Christians to extremes. He said, “Today’s Democratic Party has decided there is no room for Christians. There is a liberal fascism that is going after Christian believers. It is heartbreaking. But it is so extreme, it is waking people up.”

Cruz said that the same-sex marriage ideology was partially to blame for excluding people of faith and stated, “Today’s Democratic Party has become so radicalized for legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states that there is no longer any room for religious liberty."

Cruz conveyed that this ideology was against one of the nation's founding principles, which is religious liberty. He went on to say, “We were founded by men and women fleeing religious persecution. We need leaders who will stand unapologetically in defense of the Judeo-Christian values upon which America was built." Earlier this week, Ted Cruz said he would still accept one of his daughters if they became lesbian.
